Hello Chuck

There is no magic number how many images in a blog post.

The best way to gauge if you have too many images is to ask yourself
"Does this image enhance the reading experience or distract from it?"
If it distracts, take it out.

I hope this helps

Just make sure the images you use are relevant to the post you are writing about.
If you have a short blog post, thereis no need to have heaps of images.

If you are creating say a pillar post perhaps add some more for each subheading or every now and then to break up the long text as long as the images relate to the post and add value not just for the sake of it.

Wishing you well

I don't know the exact number because it depends on the post type. If it is an instructional post or a review post, I believe the more, the better. I prefer these post types with lots of pictures, at least one per step, and then if it is a complicated step, it needs more than one. For a simple post, I only use one image. For example, an update post to something that is going on, or if I do a conversational post, I use one to three pictures max. If a post like this has a bunch of pictures, chances are I am not going to continue reading. This is just my opinion.

Well Chuck, for my posts here, you can see that there are many images. In my website, there are only a few in every post!

Hi, Chuck. "I don't know," is my answer, but I can tell you this: I have an article in the second slot on Google. I think it is pretty good. It is comprehensive, with reviews, diagrams, illustrations, and a picture. However, it is being outranked by a simple post containing 10 photos. Apparently, ten photos are not too many if the message is good.
